Why did they change the name from global warming to climate change?
Could it be that they were exposed as a bunch of liars?
Yes. "They" have no idea what they're talking about.
This talking point is so outdated. The new PC term is climate whiplash"They" are a bunch of pawns.
Half-true. It wouldve been more accurate if he said Miami Beach. There really are fish swimming in the streets sometimes.0bama threw out the "fish are swimming in the streets of Miami" line even though the weather channel has already debunked this.

But seriously, no, they didnt change the name. Take off the tinfoil...
False dichotomy. We can tackle more than one problem at once, ya knowThe world leaders are so serious about terrorism that they are going to stop the earth's climate from changing first
Straw man. Nobody's saying climate change is the sole or even main cause of terrorism, but it can be a factor (as with Syria). If we dont address climate change it will continue to compound our problems in the middle east.Well, the climate is what causes terrorism, so......

Update for SandvolCheck your link. The October report is up
As expected, the El Niño Pacific Ocean warming event continued to push temperatures to record highs in November, although the monthly anomaly in the Northern Hemisphere dropped from October to November, said Dr. John Christy, director of the Earth System Science Center at The University of Alabama in Huntsville. The Northern Hemisphere cooled a bit in November, leading to a small drop in global temperatures. The tropical Pacific Ocean is still very warm, with much above normal quantities of heat that likely will be transferred to the atmosphere in the coming months.
In comparing the 1997-1998 El Niño to the current event, Christy noted that while the tropics were cooler in November 1997 than they are now (+0.34 to +0.53 C), the tropics warmed to +1.28 C by February 1998 during that big El Niño. While this doesnt mean the current El Niño will necessarily follow the same warming pattern over the next four months, it is a point from history to remember, Christy said.
Despite the cooling in the Northern Hemisphere, globally November 2015 was the warmest November in the 37-year satellite temperature dataset, with a temperature that was 0.05 C warmer than November 2009. It was also the warmest November in both the Northern Hemisphere and the tropics.
And a quick google reveals:And that he saw tundra on fire
The issue is called geoengineering purposely tinkering with the planet as opposed to the unintentional warming that's happening now.
Like UAHs John Christy said, Not only is this a strong El Niño, but the transient warming we see from it is superimposed on top of the slowly rising global base temperature. The satellite temperature dataset shows an overall warming of about 0.39oC during the past 36 years. Put a strong El Niño on top of that and we shouldnt be surprisedAnd its all our faults right Bart? We caused the El Nino to be so strong. It couldnt possibly be just nature right? Wait does nature work for the tobacco industry? Or does it collude with Alex Jones on a monthly basis? We need to ban us humans so the climate can normalizelol:

Yet every year since 2000, the start of your imagined pause, has been hotter than the year 2000.And, 2015 the third warmest year in the satellite record. Still a pause.
Will 2016 be a Record?
What is interesting is to consider the possibility that 2016 will indeed be a record warm year, even in the UAH (and probably RSS) satellite data. This is because the second year of El Nino year couplets is almost always the warmest, and 2015 is only the first year.
In the plot above I have color-coded the four previous major El Nino year pairs: 1982-83, 1987-88; 1997-98; and 2009-10. In three of those (all except 1987-88), the second year was much warmer than the first year. This means there is a good chance that 2016 will be a record warm year. But as 1987-88 shows, its not guaranteed .
If the current El Nino unexpectedly fizzles in the next few months OR if this El Nino transitions unusually rapidly into a strong La Nina (like the 1987-88 event), then 1998 might not be beaten for the warmest year. Mother Nature is full of surprises, and I still believe she is mostly in control.
If I simply average the previous four El Nino events together as an estimate of what will happen next year, then 2016 would be 0.25 C warmer than 2015. This would cause it to edge out 1998 as the record warmest year by 0.02-0.03 deg. C.
But Im not making any bets.

The transient warming isnt our fault, but the rising base temperatures are.

I saw that article on (UAHs) Roy Spencers blog, along with some lulzy comments on DDT in a more recent post. But nevermind his casual science denial (*cough* creationism)... An interesting bit from his website:
